re: Anyone else rooting for Ed O to get the job if we don't land Herman?

Here is the deal. LSU has to hire a new coach in early December. That coach will either be Coach O or it will most likely be someone who is presently coaching (one exception is Briles).

So nothing will be made public before then (assuming our dumbass boosters learn their lesson from last November that loose lips sink ships).

In that time, lots of things can develop that could impact the outcome of the decision. Among them:

- LSU could run the table
- LSU could go 6-6
- LSU could go 8-4
- Texas could fire Strong
- USC could fire Helton
- Notre Dame could fired Kelly
- Sexton could use the LSU opening to get Jimbo $8 million from FSU.
- UofH could learn it is admitted to the Big XII
- UofH could pay Herman $8 million.

So it's a little silly to champion Potential Coach A or trash Potential Coach B.

LSU has fired its winningest (based on percentage) coach with the second number of career victories and most SEC wins. This administration owes the fanbase a coaching hire that is a consensus upgrade and that works. As many have advocated, we have decided to get rid of pretty damn good to make a run at being elite. Now the administration has to execute. High risk/high reward.

So on the coaching stuff, wake me up on it around Thanksgiving when some of the above factors (and ones no one is thinking about) are either no longer factors or are in play. Until then, I'm focused on team performance on Saturdays.

By the way, there is a Coaching Changes Board.
